Napoleon: Total War Imperial Eagle Pack

The Napoleon: Total War Imperial Eagle Pack adds 11 elite units to the game. Some were previously available only in the original boxed edition or through pre-orders at selected retailers; two are brand-new units. They become available on the campaign map after a specific technological advancement or when you own the relevant territory, and appear in both single-player and multiplayer modes.

Elite units

• Grand Battery of the Convention (France): Has twice as many guns as an ordinary artillery unit, with cannons that combine long range and high killing power.
• HMS Elephant (Great Britain): A ship of the line with a powerful broadside at close range. Its sailing qualities are secondary to the weight of broadside it can deliver and withstand.
• Towarczys (Prussia): Fast-moving lancers with high morale. Trained to attack at a full gallop, they have an advantage in the opening moments of hand-to-hand combat.
• Royal Scots Greys (Great Britain): Heavy dragoons who can also serve as shock cavalry. Each soldier carries a flintlock carbine and a British heavy cavalry sword, and the unit is confident and capable in battle.
• 5e Regiment de Hussards (France): Light, fast veterans of the American War of Independence who can reach areas where they are needed and attack with curved sabres.
• Pavlograd Hussars (Russia): Excellent horsemen suited to pursuing skirmishers and overrunning artillery.
• 8th Life Regiment (Prussia): Disciplined, well-trained line infantry whose steadiness encourages nearby troops to follow their example.
• 47th (Czech) Regiment (Austria): Veteran soldiers skilled in both close combat and fire combat. In a disciplined line, they can fire a massed volley before advancing into melee.
• 88th Foot “Connaught Rangers”: A courageous, professional Irish line infantry regiment that can fight with bayonets or form a disciplined firing line.
• Archduke Ferdinand Cuirassiers (Austria): Heavy cavalry suited to charging into melee and continuing to fight at close quarters. Their cuirasses and helmets offer some protection, while their straight, heavy swords can inflict severe wounds.
• Lifeguard Cossacks (Russia): Among the fastest cavalry in battle, they carry lances suited to delivering a powerful charge. They are best used to charge and withdraw before prolonged close combat, where their lances are ineffective and they can suffer unnecessary casualties.
